ADOPTION OF THE DAKOTA COUNTY ALL-HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution adopting
the Dakota County All- Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Passage of this motion will result in City of Lakeville adopting the Dakota County All Hazard
Mitigation Plan.
Overview
The draft All-Hazard Mitigation Plan was submitted to both HSEM for initial review and
comment in August, 2016. County staff received HSEM comments and incorporated them
into the Plan. No public comments were received after posting the Plan on the County’s
website. No public hearing is required under the federal guidance documents. This final draft
of the Plan was then submitted to HSEM and FEMA for final review in November, 2016. The
County received notification of approval of the Plan pending adoption from HSEM and FEMA
on December 29, 2016 (see attached letter).
The City of Lakeville supported this plan in 2010. It is now up for required five year revision.
Cities choosing not to support the County’s planning process will need to develop their own
All Hazard Mitigation Plan and submit to FEMA for review.
Primary Issues to Consider
• This is required in order for the County to secure federal Disaster Public Assistance and
Mitigation Grants for communities in case of a disaster.
Supporting Information
• HSEM approval letter
